2011 Potomac Basin Watershed Group Survey Results 2011 Potomac Basin Watershed Group Survey Results Following are the results of the 2011 Potomac Basin Watershed Group Survey results for your review. Seventy five respondents completed the survey, answering most of the questions. As such, we have provided the total number of respondents and responses to further inform the results. Percentages listed represent percent of groups responding to specific questions, NOT a percentage of the total group response. In some cases, people had the option to select more than one answer, so percentages may add up to more than 100%. Explanations of “other” answers provided in response to open‐ended or follow‐up questions are listed so that you can see what is going on “out there” in the basin. We hope this information is of interest to you and your group members, as we believe that information sharing is the key to successful stewardship efforts in the basin. If you have not already, please consider joining the Chesapeake Network group Potomac Basin Stewards: http://www.chesapeakenetwork.org/PotomacBasin and post news, funding, event, success and hardship stories in an effort to share your knowledge and experiences with other groups in the Potomac Basin. A side goal of the survey was to generate interest in a Potomac Basin Stewards Map. The completed map can be found here: http://www.potomacriver.org/info_center/maps/kml/testmap/Watershed_Stewards_map.html. If your group is not yet on the map, please fill out the POTOMAC RIVER BASIN STEWARDS MAP form.

  • Carroll County Times “Carroll’S Yesteryears” Articles
    Carroll County Times “Carroll’s Yesteryears” Articles "Defenders' Day Celebration" Carroll County Times article for 13 August 1995 By Jay A. Graybeal September 12th will mark the 181st anniversary of the Battle of North Point, an American victory which was a prelude to the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. The latter attack inspired Francis Scott Key, born in the part of Frederick County that would later become Carroll County, to write the "Star Spangled Banner." A number of local residents participated in the defense of Baltimore and these men were often known as "Old Defenders" later in life. Among them was Jacob Reese (1797-1872), who served as a musician in Capt. William Blizzard's Company, 15th Regiment of Maryland Militia. When Jacob Reese died in 1872, his obituary in the Westminster Democratic Advocate newspaper noted, "Mr. Reese was one of the Defenders of Baltimore, during the attack of the British upon that city, in 1814, and although only about sixteen years of age, he bore his share in that conflict." A brief mention of Jacob Reese's service record can be found in The British Invasion of Maryland, 1812- 1815 written by William M. Marine and edited by former New Windsor resident Louis Henry Dielman. In his forward to a 1965 reprint of the 1913 original edition, Francis F. Beirne wrote of Mr. Dielman. "Contributing to the importance of the history was the collaboration of Louis Henry Dielman, for many years executive secretary and librarian of the Peabody Institute. Mr. Dielman edited the manuscript and added an appendix containing the names of nearly 12,000 soldiers and sailors, natives or citizens of Maryland who served in the war, and the names of their units." Information about the service of nearly 3,000 Frederick County veterans can be found in Frederick County Militia in the War of 1812 by Sallie A.

These comments are submitted on behalf of Blue Water Baltimore, Inc., the Environmental Integrity Project, as well as the other undersigned environmental non-profit organizations. Blue Water Baltimore is a grassroots environmental organization dedicated to restoring the quality of Baltimore’s rivers, streams and Harbor to foster a healthy environment, a strong economy, and thriving communities. Specifically, the Baltimore Harbor WATERKEEPER program of Blue Water Baltimore is dedicated to stopping water pollution in the Baltimore Harbor watershed through the use of advocacy, enforcement, education, and water quality monitoring. Baltimore is one of Maryland’s main industrial centers, and consequently, members of Blue Water Baltimore use and enjoy waterways adversely affected by the industrial stormwater discharges regulated by the Draft Permit, including the Jones Falls, Gwynns Falls and Direct Harbor within the Baltimore Harbor/ Patapsco River watershed and the Herring Run within the Back River watershed. 1 The Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for more effective enforcement of environmental laws, with a focus on Clean Water Act (CWA) enforcement in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

    2017 ANNUAL REPORT 20 Ridgely Ave, Suite 203 Annapolis, MD 21401 www.choosecleanwater.org Dear Friends of the Coalition: STEERING COMMITTEE It is safe to say that at this time last year, no one National Wildlife Federation* knew what 2017 would hold for our Chesapeake Bay watershed. At times, the threats seemed almost Maryland League of insurmountable, generating fear and uncertainty among Conservation Voters*+ the restoration community. However, I am proud to say West Virginia Rivers Coalition*+ that we did not resign ourselves to defeat, but instead rose above these challenges - together. Anacostia Watershed Society In 2017, the Choose Clean Water Coalition made Audubon Naturalist Society incredible strides toward achieving restoration and policy goals for our waterways. Through the dedication of our Chesapeake Bay Foundation 232 members, the Coalition played a significant role in generating bipartisan Conservation Voters support for clean water at the state and federal level. Thanks to the power of our of Pennsylvania members, the Chesapeake Bay congressional delegation’s commitment to the PennFuture+ restoration effort is stronger than ever, with support for steady and increased + funding for the Chesapeake Bay clean-up emerging from both sides of the aisle. Delaware Nature Society While direct attacks on our restoration goals are alarming, they are an important James River Association reminder that we must keep advocating for clean water and healthy communities. National Aquarium Our strength is demonstrated by the unified and collective voice of advocates across the region, and I have never felt the power of that voice stronger than I did National Parks this year. Conservation Association Natural Resources Defense Council Looking to 2018, we will have more battles to fight.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of Maryland. Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT,. Geographer. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF MARYLAND. By HENRY GANNETT. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. Maryland is one of the Eastern States, bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between the northern and southern boundaries of the country. It lies between latitudes 37° 53' and 39° 44', and between longitudes 75° 04 and 79° 33'. Its neighbors are Pennsyl­ vania on the north, West Virginia and Virginia on the west and south, and Delaware on the east. Its north boundary is Mason and Dixon's line, and its east boundary is, in part, a nearly north-south line separating it from Delaware and Pennsylvania, and, in part, the Atlantic Ocean. On the south the boundary is an irregular line across the peninsula separating Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean; then across Chesapeake Bay to the southern point of the entrance to Potomac River; thence following the low-water line on the south bank of the Potoniac to the head of the north branch of that river, at a point known as Fairfax Stone, excepting the area of the District of Columbia.

Samuel Ogle, who had entered upon his third term as Governor in 1746, continued to serve in that capacity during the period covered by this volume, and died in office. May 3rd, 1752. He was an excellent governor, and the controversies which took place between him and the members of the Lower House, who were of the Country, or anti-Proprietary party, at the time usually in a slight majority in this body, were due rather to the rising spirit of independence then developing in the colonies, than to any feeling of ill will towards the Governor himself, who was tactful and personally popular.
